So this was my biggest complaint when I started using it too. People will tell you that you don’t need a command prompt, and while they’re technically right,in practice you’re going to need to use it eventually.

I was a windows power user before I got into Linux and of course I ended up needing to spend more and more time in the terminal so the learning curve for me was very frustrating at times.

Fast forward a couple of years and I know bash, I learned more about how computers and operating systems works in those two years than I did in 30ish years before becoming a Linux guy, and while I still think a gui is better for some things, having to use windows at all pisses me off instantly and I feel handicapped without access to a command prompt. I mean, windows has powershell, but I don’t know it. And also the syntax is way more confusing to me than the eldritch syntax of bash (except arrays. Bash arrays are just fucked).

I’m not naive enough to think that everyone is willing or capable of taking the same journey I did, or that you can use Linux to the same extent you can as windows without opening up the terminal, but I am grateful every day I put the time and effort into learning Linux, and I fucking love it.

I’m not sure why you hate Linux but while it took me a long while to get really comfortable with the terminal I eventually fell in love with it. I love Linux so much

Me too

Is that a debit card ? What’s going on with the case? I’ve seen many vaginas but the phone - that is a mystery.

I mean. The way chicken worked before this shit in the us was already appalling . Read about fecal soup.

It could absolutely be a dumpster fire but I trust a24 to not fuck it up. They have a great track record and I think the whole minimalist storytelling thing is right in their wheelhouse. Time will tell though.

We don’t, for the record.

The movie is so fucking dumb. I absolutely love the avatar movies in 3d at the theatre but there’s zero reason to ever watch it at home. The movie really exists as a way to hold together wildly ambitious visual art

So I am in no position to help you but I do have a very strange and hypothetical (ish) question:

How feasible would it be to hack a monitors firmware and use it to send and receive data, assuming that the data being sent is encoded on, say, the green color channel of said monitor and you had an sdr or some specially configured device set up somewhere to help make this very specific and bizarre idea work?

So. You’ll hear no argument from me on how banal the thing is. The setting, the plot, the characters. None of it does anything particularly engaging.

But holy fucking shit this movie and the one before it were breathtaking visual spectacles that I’ve not seen before or since.

Shopping at home hardware is such a weird experience. You can ask questions and the people working there actually know the answers to the questions and can point you in the right direction.

It’s weird to interact with someone that isn’t a fucking troglodyte that knows nothing about the products they’re selling.

The last of us was great too. Not a movie still. But .
